Fighting Falcon March was written for the Eureka Middle School 6th
Grade Band of Eureka, Illinois. It is a simple yet
tuneful and inspiring march that is ideally suited for young
musicians learning to play in a march style. Care should be
taken not to play the march faster than the indicated tempo in
order to preserve the noble character of the piece.
In his youth, the composer was fascinated by aircrafts of all
kinds, and happened to live near an Air National Guard
base that hosted a squadron of F-16 “Fighting Falcons.” The nimble
and sleek jets could regularly be seen flying over
the area, and they never failed to stir feelings of awe and
patriotism in him as they knifed through the air.
